Friend's car. If I remember correctly, it was making power in the mid 400 range at the time of this video.

Again, remember what thread you are in. Z33 and S chassis comparison thread, drift oriented. Did you even read the topic and view the first few images? Or just come here to mouth off and get your 2 cents in because you can't stop swinging e-peen?

If this thread isn't for you just leave it be, fuck.

This thread is full of people that have egos bigger than their wallet. If you haven't went from an s chassis to a z33 please stay out of this thread. Obviously the s chassis is cheaper to mod and fits way more needs for certain people. Speaking from experience, I've owned both an s13 and s14(both while enrolled full time in school) but after upgrading to a z33 I have no complaints. The z33 is superior in all aspects(in stock form) and is a wonderful upgrade. Modifications are a bit more expensive, but money spent on the z chassis shows a bit more gratification because it is spent upgrading rather than replacing.

You want to know whats superior to the Z33? The Z34.

Much more of a contender against the S13.

Let's hear from the people who went from 350z -> 370z, and never looked back.

you're 22. how much time can you really spend comparing all these cars? not saying you're not justified in having an opinion, but your critique may be off a bit.

people who appreciate the s-chassis are people who appreciate the simpler, light-weight sports car. people who dont understand this, will overlook the fun aspects of the s-chassis in favor of the Z which is a bigger, heavier, grand tourer.

in my opinion, you dont need to look further than this article:
http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/21/r...-out-the-370z/

personally, and this is just me - i can say strongly that i probably will not own a vehicle if it has the following:
- multi-airbag
- front wheel drive
- traction control
- digital gauge cluster
- any type of LCD screen needed to interact with the vehicle
- or even worse, a touchscreen (as opposed to buttons and knobs)
- hydropneumatic suspension

the brz is the closest, modern alternative to a 240sx/240z. if only it didnt have that damn motor... oh well.

Just because im 22 has nothing to do with me comparing 2 different cars of which i've owned. I am not arguing that the z is the greatest car or even better than any s chassis. For me, i thoroughly enjoy the z33 way more. As i stated, the s chassis is a great chassis for many different people and their needs, but i believe the z33 is a better car to drive on an everyday basis. The s chassis' are lighter and are fun as hell to drive hard and not worry about all the electronic BS, but are not as favorable to drive everyday. For someone who doesnt mind spending a little more and wants a newer car that doesnt drive like a tin can, the z33 is a great option.

Truth. My roommates BRZ's injectors are sooo loud. I did get 4 18s in the back though yesterday so that was cool, definitely can't do that with a Z.

My s14 was an absolute blast to drive and drove wonderful. In comparison to the s13, the s14 had less road noise and was a lot more of a touring based car.(atleast from my point of view) Now that i own a z33, i can say that it is even more of a touring car. BUT, thats what i am looking for in a car. It has the ability to be track'd if you would like and also is a very comfortable car to hop in and drive on a day to day basis. I do miss my s14, but i do not regret upgrading to z33 one bit. They are not as easy to work on as an s chassis either.

Great points being made by everyone. Can the G35 coupe play too? Peep this one in the lower right corner with the Nismo Z-Tune livery. Making me rethink my next car purchase all over again. Pretty fly if you ask me, sir.

another thing that bothers me about the z is the tall belt line. whenever you look at someone all you see is their head. car has poor visibility.

this is NOT the case with the S13 - its got fucking EXCELLENT visibility... from any angle.

Cars with lots of glass are the best. That is why I dislike most new cars. The windows feel claustrophobic, including the windshield on some of them. I wonder if low bodies and tall windows will ever make a comeback.

Tell you want, if you want a "WTF" experience, hop in a Vintage 911.

The pillars are thumb thick and the windshield wraps around for a surreal panoramic experience.

The S13 hatch does have great visibility, and when I started driving my S13 coupe I realized you get even more visibility out of the back windshield since it seems to be at a 45* angle vs the hatch's 25* angle.

Everyone says new cars have tall bodies for safety, but there is definitely technology to make cars safe even if they had lower body lines.

Not to mention, good visibility is just as if not more crucial to safety. One would not have to worry about others crashing into them if everyone could see over their cars' body panels.

Yesterday I saw a woman in a new Camaro convertible with the top down and she had to use the rear view mirror to be able to see behind her because when she turned around to back out she could not see over the trunk. That is ridiculous. And yes, she was of average height.

Only if federal mandates change. But that's not very likely.

You want to know whats superior to the Z33? The Z34.

Much more of a contender against the S13.

Let's hear from the people who went from 350z -> 370z, and never looked back.
350z>370z

Unfortunately DOT and all the other federal powers that are, regulated higher side impact zones. This means that the days of "panoramic" views are over.

I love the fact that my S14 window sill is low enough to put my arm on and not lose feeling in it because of the incline.

Now what about the VQ though? Everything I have read or heard about the VQ says they don't like boost over 7psi even with a good tune and after about 435ish it's going to go bang. With built VQ's I've heard about piston slap.

Any truth to this, anyone have any experience boosting one?

And for those of us who don't give two fucks about drifting how well does the G/Z handle? I'm figuring the FM platform could out perform the S-chassis easily though it probably wouldn't feel like a big go cart likely S14 does.

I'm thinking G coupe with sways, LSD(Torsen preferably), upgraded struts though not necessarily coilovers, spl suspension arms. Basically the standard s-chassis handling package.
